Moving starts over this weekend

Ok, after this week, no more internet till the connection is up on 9th Feb. Why? Because that's how Ozzie doing their things.....take ages to do something simple like getting a line fix up. Geez, I feel as if I am gonna go through a period of cold turkey without internet. U know, one can get symptoms like shaking fingers, unknown tremours, high anxiety level coz don't know how to kill time especially at night.
Or perhaps, I should take prozac to keep myself happy or valium to concuss on bed early.

I am still packing....the stuffs are amazing. I feel like throwing away more but don't know how. All seems to be very useful to me.

Road rage shall not be tolerated

I wonder why the Ozzies like to hog up on one lane even thought there are 2 lanes going in the same direction. I decided to change lane since I am kinda stuck in the line of cars and yet no one is willing to make a move to the next lane. So I checked the road lines (making sure overtaking is legal), sigalled at least 3 secs and check my blind spot before swerving my wheel. Who knows, half way through the turning, this maroon family car just speed up behind me. At this moment of time, i can't leave my half way steered wheel there so might as well changed to the lane as quickly as possible. Bear in mind that the speed limit on that road is only 60km/hr.

Just less than 10 seconds later, we stopped at the red traffic light. She was behind my car , pointing her middle finger as I can see from the front mirror. The next thing was she jumped out of her car , leaving her young passengers in car seats, came up to me and gave a whack on my car windscreen. Geez, her knuckles must be in real pain. She just speed off in her family car after that. Of course, she almost ruined my day but I did submit an incident report to the police.

Ozzie polices are ..uhm..so inefficient. This Mr Police told me that unless I decided to get her to court then they will follow it through. But I reckon, the police should at least show some warnings to her that it is wrong to road rage and endangering her kids in the car. The thing is I am going back to Singapore also........going to court is quite troublesome here plus it can take up to months for the court to be avaliable. There has got to be more efficient ways to handle these trivial but important matters. Then again, their brains are probably stuffed up with too many hamburgers and snags (hotdogs).

Ok, that added another 'Xiaoren' for me to hit on the list. Curse her to have laosai for weeks.

Da green dress-can't wear bra though... Posted by Hello
My best friend's wedding in June

As you can see from the title, one of my sistas getting married in June. So have to save up for a trip to Singapore by then. Ohh, just happened to walk by this shop which is having 50% storewide. I ended up buying a dress where I can wear to the dinner. A bit sexy with a ribbon in the front. Sequine beads are attached at the bottom of the dress. It also comes with adjustable bra straps and most importantly, the price was reduced from AU$49 to AU$14.50. I've attached a pic all those who wonder how it looks like.

Spent some time last night trying to summarise a case study to a senior podiatrist. Poor dude, he has been having infected toes for almost 2 years.

When the next week comes, i'll be pretty busy sorting out my mails and telephone. bugger*

Right now I need a good shower especially after being covered with sand and sea.

My temper & My 1st solo surgery

One of the prisoners exceeded my limit of patience yesterday. "GO AWAY"- raising my voice without even looking at him. He told me his problems and expect me to follow his treatment regime. What the hell I am here for in the first place. The conclusion was he wanted me to write a letter of referral to allow him to have his shoes from the property to be taken out. The prisons have strict rules that I can only do what I can. Unless some poor chaps having deformed feet or losing a toes, that's when I'll only write a medical referral to the supervisor. Hate being manipulated by these people.#$*%U)^(

Oh! I've done a total nail avulsion on a big toe on someone on my own. Feel so proud of myself now. TEEHEE!!

I missed I but I hate his guts. My friend even called him slack prick with no respect. But I am going to write a 'final' letter to him - once and for all to tell him I actually missed him. Uhm, well, like what my friend said, he should be flattered that someone is missing him. I mean , it's not everyday that you get messages like I missed you. Morever it took me a while before deciding to write or not. Then again, I feel that I've got nothing to lose. In regardless of the outcome, I am prepared mentally. At least, I've done my best part of it. I must always tell myself don't procrastinate to get things done because life is too short.

I may have been swept away by the Tusnami if it did strike 4 years ago in Phuket. I was standing and relaxing Patong Beach and now, the beautiful images of the island can only remain in my memories.
So here, I've learnt to be more upfront with my feelings rather than hide it at the bottom of my heart...

Got house but no phoneline

That's one of my criteria of getting a room in a house. Must have phoneline socket. Hopefully things will work it out with the landlord on Tue. If not, I'll probably stuffed up.

Working with so many oldies, many of them like to ask me if I've got any boyfriend and somewhat, they will start to relate their enduring love stories to me. Think I should start writing and compile them into a book.Who knows, I may make a profit out of it.
Love story of the week:
(*names have been changed to protect the privacy act)
Mrs Raj who is a chronic arthritis sufferer, stepped into the clinic 2 days ago for the first time to get her feet treated. "I was born in India in the 1930s," as she continued with a strong indian accent. "My dad passed away when I was only 11. It's only natural for my mom to be protective of me."
ME:" so your husband came along with you to Australia?"
Mrs Raj paused for a moment before she began her next sentence. " I was married to an English man and he died of cancer 4 years ago. I still miss him very much. He takes good care of me especially when I am sick. I think of him when I go for my Doctor's appointments. He was a good man. Before he died, he told my children to take care of me."
ME:" how did you get away from the olden times of India to marry a white guy?"
Mrs Raj:" I met him through a friend's friend. He was in the cricket team. He actually changed from staying in Royal English Force to Royal India Force to be with me. Even though I didn't want to stay in England, it was too cold for me. I told my mom I can trust him. But there were a lot of misconceptions of white guys being flirty, sex and sleep around. I had the best time of my life."
ME: trying hard not to sniff behind my mask.

NO HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cham cham cham. Weather is extremely hot today with a high temperature of 38 degrees celsius. Forest fires are happening on certain parts of the Perth today and even threaten people's lives or houses to the extend. Smoke and haze have been going around suffocating my nose.
Wanna go swimming later the afternoon. Guess what? KNN- the weather becomes gloomy and hot. The moment I get into the ladies change room, the announcement came on like this:" All people please get out of pool now as there is a lightening strike." Damn...... I asked for a refund then and went home.

How fun is that.

Oh one of my patients particularly like to ask me this question:" have you found yourself a boyfriend?".
*sigh*
I wish I can say something else than a 'no'.

I'm getting wrathful......

No news on the house. At a point I feel like grabbing a newspaper and start driving around to look a decent place on my own. Throughout my stay in Perth, I've never across so much trouble to look a house to stay. Right now, it is such a long tendious process. Suggestion on a long list of houses is impractical and time consuming.Rather, it is also difficult to tell people to be realistic with the options of choosing the houses as we know we are all different in certain ways. By the way, I tend to choose to live close by for easy access to many places (for instance is my boss place). Driving up to 2-3 destinations to work in a day can be quite tiring and the last thing on my mind is going home fast and rest. Then again, some people think just because I drive and that doesn't make a difference.
Ohh yes, the differences are petrol fees, time, accessibility .....

On the other hand, why I am explaining so much here.?Guess the true drivers would understand how I feel.

Went over to a g.f's place for dinner. Don't know what's got into her head, her expession of speech plus usage of words are not so friendly. I chose to keep quiet. No point arguing with someone not in the right state of mind. There are just some people out there who doesn't think before they open their mouths...

Luck-less

No luck with the house yet. Just walking via different house agents to get some list for rental properties. Wish me luck once more *again*. Left about 2 weeks to search for my new 'home'.

Otherwise, things are pretty much the same. I'm looking forward to meet my vast amount of friends back home and family. It's always nice to be back to the home nest minus Dad's/Mom's nagging. Eugene rang me yesterday but I was driving like 10okm/hr on the freeway. Subsequently, we still managed to chat up a little over the net on that night itself. Ohhh, I got myself a job as a locum podiatrist in Singapore! The bling bling is good and I can't complained much. Well, that would really come in handy since I have my mobile, rent, internet, credit card, bills to pay prior leaving. Soon, it will be the car insurance, professional indemnity insurance and car registration to pay in the upcoming months. That's how I plan my financial status - always take a step ahead in term of money matters.

I wanna go on holiday when I'm back in Singapore if possible. Thinking about 4 days Hongkong or just China. Still got mambo and clubbing with my bro and g.fs, and cousins. cham cham. Not sure shall I paste a forum to meet travelling friends in singapore or not....

Friendster- realised that I am getting more reply from my old sec school pals! That's great and hopefully will meet them up eventually when I'm back in SG.

Have to ring a surgeon tomorrow to ask her opinion of this very interesting case I've seen at the prison. It's ultra disgusting to look so I shall not harm my readers by putting it up....even though there is a temptation to do that.

I hate missing I...... I need to be stronger than before and I will......What if I ever see him again? How would I react? In fact, after those few nights of writing essays on my notebook, I am thinking less of I.*shrugs*

VN and myself had a little prank. We started to give around her ex-boss number coz he is such an arsehole who doesn't think before he says anything. See, what goes around turn around. VN is one of the rare pals whom I can chat anything under the sun. I can say she is the brainy one ..always full of idea and keen on pressing the gums to release the pus (ya she is a dentist).

Slacking Sunday

Should I change my blog address?
It's funny how people after reading my blog, they turn and twist the 'facts' to another co-friends which resulted me having to answer multiple questions.
Bugger off that. (note that I've put a disclaimer on the homepage)

Anyway, weather was kinda weird today. Wasn't a good day for beach with so much clouds in the sky. Think I'd rather stay at home and throw more junks away.

Oh, haven't found a place to move..boohoo!

Mint-coloured dress

After car servicing, my g.f and myself decided to waste our time shopping in the city. Saw this really nice green mint tube dress and yet not revealing for the price of $54 as reduced from $80. I can never carry off those ultra sexy a -few -pieces -covered -body clothings. Somehow, with my 'decent' looking face, no way I can be more sultry than sweet in those sexy cuts wear. I want a more 'changeable' face! *kidding* - I am happy with what I have anyway. I always prefer to wear brightly coloured clothes than those dull boring colours (eg, shades of grey).

Girlfriend F was lovely to buy me a nice lunch and with one set of meal +drink purchased, we get to sing an hour of karaoke. *chuckles* . F also took a calender with her by mistake that she thought it was for free. Then again, the stack of calender was piled up next to a collection of free local chinese community newspaper. Too bad for the boss then.

Tried Smsing the landlord to view the potential house and yet heard nothing from him/her. Bah.

Oh, someone apparently scratched my car.........What goes around, comes around. Curse him/her hands to be chopped off by someone or preferably, let them turn ill rotten and gangrenous. Whoever you are, you deserve it.

Back to ebay's business......






More missons to be accomplished

OOoook, my mom has left Perth for Singapore today. This afternoon, we went to tour agency to book my flight back to Singapore on Valentine's day. Isn't that great that I can avoid to see those lovey dovey couples on the streets. At least I get to enjoy half of the day flying inthe air while busy switching between channels on the SQ's inflight entertaiment.

So that's mission accomplished number 1.

Next, house hunting begins from now onwards. Dateline is to move out at the end of the month. The thought of calling those agents, emailing, oragnise time to view,and driving around make me wanna puke. Bah*In addition, i;ve got about 20 organisations to report for changing of my address. Some required a formal letter to be written too. *double bah*

I've written 2 complaint emails to the following employees. If nothing or the matter of me not getting paid has not resolved, I will write a formal letter to the Wageline. So that people will learn not to take my service for granted.

Think my hormone level is fluctuating'. I just wanna to be left alone and not sure why, I always enjoy shopping, fixing stuffs or doing things myself. Not say that I am a selfish person but seriously, I would rather look at peace and traquility that resent on my mind.I would prefer to ask for help if I really need to. Should I say that maybe I do possess a strong independence character.

The search for a house continues....*yawns*

Woos

Pays from prisons are not coming in on time. I think my level of patience is exceeding beyong my limits. I am going to ring the Ministry of Treasury and blurt at them for their inefficiencies. That would be the first thing to do in the morning.

Next, remember to ring to pay for the medical supplies via credit card deduction.

I am moving out soon to stay with another girlfriend. So I shall say goodbye to the student accomodation housing at the end of month. Tee hee. Got all my boxes prepared and anytime I am ready to pack up.

Need to start working hard in the month of Jan.I am going back to Singapore on Valentine's Day but I've yet paid for the ticket.

Oh, I've just receieved a letter from the podiatry assocation saying that now podiatrists are allowed to use the title 'Dr' but at the end of the name must have the word '(podiatrist)' if one fufill the criteria as below: Masters holder, 4 years postgrad experience, must register in Australia and so on. In addition, those podiatrists who are certified to do acupuncture on foot and ankle (mainly) are allowed as long as they follow the sterility and legisation rules hold by the board.

Tim Sum Buffet $11 per head

So full on my tum tum! Didn't had any dinner or lunch because I had a huge tim sum buffet feast with mom and my g.f - F. Don't be surprise that our usual tim sum routine is to sit up to 3 hours in the resturant and savouring the food slowly. Not scoffing down those food of course as unlike those 'kiasu' peeps. Guess we had the most rounds of tow huay (beancurd).......almost like 4 bowls per person.

Weather is abit on the cool side today. Thank goodness that I brought a cardi out with me. Actually I always enjoy the weather in their high 20s temperature.

Landlord came over and I had to move out by end of Jan. SO strange. Mr A is able to sign for 6 months lease and I can't. It's funny how the landlord said that someone also want Mr A's room and yet they still allowed him to stay on. Anyway, I had enough of staying with students. So goodluck to the landlord if she can find 2 people to move in straight as soon as possible.
Moving is such a big hassel...the thought of driving around to look for a decent place to stay is such a pain in my head and a**.

Need to edit the pics from the trip in Kalgoorlie and hopefully I can find time to paste it on my Virtual tourist website soon.


JS showed me this ultra cool website:

Happy New Year 2005

In fact, I didn't stay up late to welcome the new year. The neck pain and headache have been bugging me since yesterday. All I want is to rest. Hitting onto the bed by 9pm and woke up like 8yish in the morning. Mom made some breakfast and I feel like going back to bed again. Don't know why as I grow older, I need more sleep.Perhaps, I also need to identify several tactics to rejuvenate myself. (*hint: resolution number 1).

Since I've got my permanent residency, the resolution number 2 is getting a full job. There are jobs everywhere and it's just a matter of where one wanna work.Something to think about...

Resolution number 3: save save save! For my ultimate Euro dream in 06 and a nice apartment.

Resolution number 4: Pack my junks.

A short family history:
My maternal grandma is brought up by fosters parents where they also had 2 daughters themselves. My m.grandma is considered the youngest among the sisters then. Her foster parents also brought back another son but eventually he decided to return to his own natural parents. My grandma is supposedly leading a very comfortable life after she got married her husband who owned a small grocery shop. When WWII broke out, Japanese invaded Malaya where most of the men fleed into the forest to hide. That's how my grandma never see from grandad again. At that time, she already had her 1st child ( my uncle). Later on, my grandma married her 2nd husband who works as a rubber tapper. Together with my grandma, they brought up another 2 children (2nd uncle and my mom). How interesting.......I wish I can dig out more about the ancestry past.
